More accident rates for new riders?

[Guest Valarie]

What do ya guys think abt new riders and their relationship to more road accidents?

[Lass]

the choices are kinda confusing....also i dun think it's true that new riders get into accidents only cos they r too eager, ppl get into accidents of inexperience and wrong judgement and blah blah blah....am not a good rider and i still make mistakes and it has nothing to do w eagerness

[Gnixer]

the only thing i can think of is they get panic when there horn ard

[kennethy]

i guess he/she meant to ask if we agree that new riders get into more accidents...

 

personally, i agree cos during my first year of riding... get into 2 accident, one my fault one the other parties... after that, no more accident till now...

 

now to think of it... both could have been prevented... so i believe experience do count in bring down the accident rates...

I disagree that newer rider gets into more accident, a friend of mine once told me, u might be careful but others might be careless, so it all boils down to luck

[Man V.1]

The poll is complicated..

 

i also disagree that new riders get into more accidents.. It all depends on the individual..

I do feel different individuals take different periods of time to bridge the gap between what the driving centres teach and the realities on the road. Some learn faster, and adapt within months. Others never learn after years and keep getting into accidents. One year means different things to those who learn both class 3 and 2B. It helps a rider understand both perspectives. If got class 4 better still. The older generation in the past tended to take mutiple licenses for jobs. For me, it was a little different too, cause i class 3 kenna buang by people at junction. Fully comprehensive class 3 learning package. How to make police report also got teach. So bike on the road pass le also very scared. First accidents always offer plenty to learn.

Don't really agree with new riders gettin into more accidents. It's a combination of elements, eg: road conditions, traffic conditions, weather and state of mind whether ur alert and aware or too tired just to name a few. But inexperience does count alot cuz they aren't able judge these conditions since they r relatively new to biking. I had my first accident after 2.5 yrs of riding. I skidded cuz of the damn slippery white line

Riders need to balance themselves on 2 wheels. They, practically, go against the law of nature as soon as they are on their 2-wheelers... ... hahaha.... go figure...

[wait4me]

make a compulsary package for all learners???

 

 

 

class 2b with 3 ..

 

or 3 with 2b

 

 

dun flame me ......

[jB]

btw i believe those who understood made their choice..the tribe has spoken

[ahcongie]

juz heng or sway nia when u r riding outside .. juz becareful at all times.. expect the unexpected

saw a minor accident before at a left turn zebra crossing. a ktm rider rode past me at a high speed, signalling left, which is towards the zebra crossing. i was think "his not gonna make it", and he didnt.

and his a p plater.

 

so morale of the story: dont go over your limits, especially for bikers like us.

 

so if u mean minor accidents like self skid, new riders are prone to it obviously, comparing to old riders (3yrs riding exp).

 

if u mean accidents comprising of other vehicles, it might be lack of exp for the rider him/herself to evade impeding danger, or the driver's too reckless for him/her to take evasive actions.

 

i've seen young riders, with female pillion, and their bikes immed had an increase in bhp. +100.. and its not just once.

 

maybe i've been seeing the blacksheeps. i remembered once i was overtaken on a right bend when i was on the right lane, overtook on the right.. and that bloody idiot still have the cheek to horn me.. and of cos, i expressed my unhappiness in the form of finger..

[lionfuR-]

eh i agree with darky, i keep seeing a lot of pplaters zooming around very fast and dangerously, even with pillions, machiam singapore gudang like that..

 

maybe its juz tampines haha

I myself am a P-plater. I do feel quite scared for these riders who corner sooo fast and dangerously.... For me, I wouldn't dare to... especially if I'm entering a Pedestrian crossing (might hit old people or worst, children or self-skid due to the slippery markings)...

[shaunz]

depending on the ego of the rider. sometimes their ego kills them.

dangerous stunts like acting as a law enforcer and blocking vehicles

[FOXY]

well val say liao accident

 

really purely luck

 

lucky lucky almost kanna but nv

 

think nv kanna but end up kanna accident

[BlurLing]

wa. old thread!

to me. up to individual riders. den again, i beg to differ too. as ive been a pillion for 2 years before being a rider. hence ive seen 1st hand accident and experienced 1st hand accident too. so maybe all these add up to de more caution riding. and staying accident free as long as possible. record still clean as a rider.

many new rider who dint have de chance to mix around with bikers, or a pillion, especially guys, are more prone to accident. and when i mean mixing with bikers, not only de p-plates, it also mean bigger bikers and etc. mixing with them and with them guiding. nth should go wrong. at least, proven and tested by me? well. i dunno about others. but since till date im still not good with my monster, i dun wanna risk him or myself by playing too low on corners or etc.

 

bike gone nvm. life gone, who is gonna repair it back to life? (:
